Overview

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is a downtown church that has been located at the same place on Prince Avenue in Athens, Georgia for more than a 163 years. We are energized by our faith to worship God and to minister to people in the neighborhood, local community, and beyond.  

Because we are located in a university town we have an eclectic parish. Some people are third generation Emmanuelites; others have moved to Athens and our parish within the last year. Some are cradle Episcopalians; others are new to the faith. Some are professionals; others are workers; still others are students. We have come to Emmanuel from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences, and we bring to it a wide range of beliefs and expectations. There is room for you.
